Exclusive: Davis deal agreed

Claude Davis is on the verge of joining Crystal Palace after agreeing personal terms.

Derby County have agreed a deal to release the Jamaica international from his Pride Park contract - which still has two years left to run.

And Eagles boss Neil Warnock - a long-term admirer of Davis - has been quick to snap up the central defender on a free transfer.

Warnock told the Advertiser: "We've agreed a deal for Davis to come here.

"What I like about Claude is that he knows how to look after himself - he is physically very strong."

However, it is understood Davis has to re-apply for a work permit which takes around three to four weeks to process.
